Or maybe I missed something in the draft or between the lines in the whole thing ... Do we assume the negative just quickly tears down the BGP session & then it loses any relevance and we rely on BGP to retry after reset automatically or something?

yes.


But then why do we even care about retaining the LSP IDs & SeqNr# would I ask?

it's used for the purpose of flooding, so that during the flooding you do not flood the same pulse LSP multiple times.

thanks,
Peter

    Hannes -

    Please see
    
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ppsenak-lsr-igp-event-notification-00#section-4.1

    The new Pulse LSPs don't have remaining lifetime - quite intentionally.
    They are only retained long enough to support flooding.

    But, you remind me that we need to specify how the checksum is
    calculated. Will do that in the next revision.

    Thanx.
